Description
Summary:Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in honeycomb lattice, has been one of the most attractive materials for fundamental and applied research in the past decade. Its unique electronic, optical, thermal, chemical and mechanical properties have lead to the discovery of new physics and many promising applications. In particular, research on photon-electron interaction in graphene-based heterojunctions has revealed a new route to design photoactive devices.
